It is wild to me that
- nearly every commercial species of eel is endangered,
- no one has ever successfully bred an eel in captivity* and
- eel is available in basically every sushi place in America (it’s actually hard to avoid!
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eel#Commercial_species
*Some scientists managed to get some new eels hatched, but they died after 18 days. Not exactly a good foundation for aquaculture.
@HotPolishTakes @pganssle honestly we should consider agreeing to not eat baby eels like this so they can live out a relatively normal life cycle.

Moray eels are fucking rad and I’m glad that you can’t eat them without getting poisoned

@RoyalJohnny242 @HotPolishTakes @pganssle in the end, only wholly poisonous animals will remain, as that is what the Chinese will fail to consume 😂

@SchizoZoomer @HotPolishTakes @RoyalJohnny242 This Wikipedia article says all eel blood is actually poisonous to humans unless you cook it, so apparently even being deadly isn’t enough.
@pganssle @HotPolishTakes @RoyalJohnny242 guess the Chinese will scour literally all life from the planet then. F.

This article from 6 years ago might provide insight. Don't know how reputable the domain is.

Little baby eels like pic related grow up in European rivers and streams. Then swim into ocean and out of sight from old europe. Come back as full grown eels. People didnt know the baby and adult were related and it was a mystery for a long time for baby eels or eel eggs
